I'll be giving a talk at Jupiter's Eye Book Cafe with D.J. Lee on Oct. 3! Learn about: conversations with the dead about illuminated printing, seeing in the infinite in everything, englobing the vortices of spacetime, and why everyone is a prophet.

From this Superman fan born the year the 78 film came out, thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social for the movie you made. I know you can't say anything, but I hope that you can do for \S/ games what you've already done for the movie. Cheers.
